2,2',4,5',6-pentabromobiphenyl

Description:
2,2',4,5',6-pentabromobiphenyl is a polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) compound characterized by the presence of five bromine atoms attached to a biphenyl structure. This compound is typically used as a flame retardant in various materials, including plastics and textiles, due to its ability to inhibit combustion. It is a solid at room temperature and is generally insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents. The presence of multiple bromine atoms contributes to its high molecular weight and stability, making it resistant to degradation. However, PBBs, including 2,2',4,5',6-pentabromobiphenyl, are of environmental concern due to their persistence, potential bioaccumulation, and toxicity to aquatic and terrestrial organisms. Regulatory measures have been implemented in many regions to limit the use of such compounds due to their harmful effects on human health and the environment. Proper handling and disposal are essential to mitigate risks associated with exposure to this chemical.
